In the latest wave of Bold and the Beautiful predictions, the drama reaches a boiling point as Luna Nozawa spirals into one of her most unhinged schemes yet—one that centers around young Hayes Finnegan. Luna’s fixation on the boy, mixed with her growing resentment toward Steffy and Finn, sets the stage for a dangerous confrontation that could trigger Sheila Carter’s most explosive reaction in years.
The speculation begins with Luna secretly watching Steffy and little Hayes from a distance, using a telephoto lens to track their movements during what looks like a casual day at summer camp. When Luna eventually approaches Hayes and hands him a present, the picture becomes clearer: she’s trying to form a connection with her younger half-brother. Recently, Luna suggested that Steffy would understand her pain if she knew what it was like to be cut off from her own child. That comment now seems like ominous foreshadowing.
Many fans believe Luna may attempt to lure Hayes away—possibly with a toy, candy, or even by telling him they’re siblings who must reunite with their father. If Hayes insists that Kelly is his only sister, that rejection might push Luna over the edge entirely. In Luna’s warped perspective, taking Hayes wouldn’t be “kidnapping” but a lesson meant to make Steffy feel the same agony Luna feels being separated from Finn. She wouldn’t view it as hurting him, just “teaching a lesson”—which makes the situation even more terrifying.
This triggers prediction number two: Sheila Carter’s fury will become volcanic if Luna targets Hayes. Sheila has been frantically trying to push Luna out of Los Angeles ever since her pardon, terrified Luna could pose a threat to Steffy. Sheila understands better than anyone how fragile the situation is—Steffy still fears her, Finn struggles with his loyalties, and Hayes represents everything Sheila wants to protect.
If Hayes were to go missing, Finn would almost certainly call Sheila, both because of her connection to Luna and because everyone knows Luna has been spending time with her. Even if Luna doesn’t kidnap Hayes, Sheila will lose control if she suspects Luna has any designs on the child. Sheila already warned Luna to leave town, and discovering Luna near her grandson might ignite the most dangerous version of Sheila yet. In Luna’s twisted mindset, however, Sheila choosing Hayes over her would be another betrayal—similar to how she feels Finn chose Hayes over her—which could push her further into madness.
The third major prediction shifts to another brewing storm: Nick Marone’s return and his bold attempt to rekindle romance with Brooke Logan. Spoilers tease that Nick shows up unexpectedly at Forrester Creations, leading to a heartfelt reunion with Brooke. By Tuesday, he’s making his intentions clear—he openly kisses her and speaks passionately about their history. As the week continues, his presence drives Ridge up the wall.
Actor Jack Wagner shared that Nick returns more successful, more confident, and far wealthier—running Marone Shipping with full authority. This version of Nick knows exactly what he wants, and he isn’t shy about provoking Ridge on purpose. He believes Brooke deserves a steady partner, not Ridge’s emotional back-and-forth. Though Nick isn’t innocent given his past with multiple Logans, he firmly believes he is a better man for Brooke than Ridge ever was.
Prediction four brings Brooke and Taylor back into conflict. Taylor and Ridge discuss Brooke’s ongoing influence in their relationship—and by Friday, Taylor is clashing directly with Brooke over Ridge and Nick. With Nick pouring on the charm and Ridge bristling with jealousy, Brooke may flaunt the attention a little, especially if it gets under Taylor’s skin. Nick, for his part, doesn’t hesitate to criticize Ridge’s treatment of women, echoing actor Thorsten Kaye’s own comments about Ridge’s flaws.
Finally, prediction five: Remy Price may unknowingly become a pawn in Luna’s plot. Even after seeing Luna shooting at Steffy’s photo at a gun range, Remy shows up at her apartment again, proving he’s still entangled in her chaos. With actress Lisa Yamada preparing to film another project, Luna’s storyline is expected to escalate dramatically—possibly ending in a prison return, an escape attempt, or even a tragic exit.
